Fox news is (I think) is going to start coverage at 3 am (ET) MM77, yeah, that is about the time they are coming in. I am not sure if it is the time there are to land or the time they are going to start re-entry.

yep thats what they are saying....they had two chances and both were called off because of chances of rain. Tomorrow they will have two more trys at it, they say that they might land it in New Mexico if need be.

Just think of how much $$$ it would take to haul that thing from NM to Florida!!!!

My goal in life is to be as good of a person my dog already thinks I am.

Hunters are alot like Birdwatchers. Only after watching while, we start shooting!

Snafu, I like how you say "brains", because I'm assuming you are thinking the sarcstically like I am. How can those darn people not fix a reoccuring problem that have been having. It absolutely amazes me.

gsp, Yes, that was sarcasm you detected. I like how "they" said after the shuttle was in space, "we never should have launched." NO frigging kidding! Then they ground the shuttle program again before they even land this one. I can't even imagine what the crew is thinking right now.
I know I would be having a fit. The "pucker factor" would be so high I would not even need safety straps to hold me to my seat.

If I understand this right, the company that makes the foam (that keeps falling off during the launch) had to switch to a weaker formula, because the other foam they made was freon based and did not comply with EPA standards. Isn't that just dandy?

Any body ever see pictures of how they hall that thing around? My great uncle used to work at White Sands Missile Testing Site in New Mexico. He has actual pictures that he took of the shuttle on the back of the 747 they fly it back on. One of the pictures shows the plane taking off with the shuttle on its back. Pretty cool photos, if I had a scanner I'd post them up here.
